Michael, I was importing from an existing local tree (copied from the CD set) using; cobbler import --name=RHEL44-x86-64 --mirror=/var/www/html/pub/yum/4AS/x86-64/up4 Where "/var/www/html/pub/yum/4AS/x86-64/up4" is the root directory of the installation tree. Thanks for the help, cobbler still rules. Dan. -----Original Message----- From: et-mgmt-tools-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:et-mgmt-tools-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael DeHaan Sent: 03 July 2007 3:42 PM To: Fedora/Linux Management Tools Subject: Re: cobbler import arch problem Hennessey Daniel wrote: > using cobbler to import an existing x86-64 distro tree but when I do a > "cobbler distro report" it says the distro's arch is x86. > > I can use "cobbler distro add" and explicitly state the arch but this > leaves the distro tree in place and I was hoping to import all my > kickstart trees to be managed by cobbler. > > Any clues? > This shouldn't happen, but it won't cause any adverse results... what distro source were you using for the import? (i.e. RHEL 4 DVD? rsync mirror?). If you can give me further info I'll take a look at see what's wrong with the auto-detection. Cobbler uses the arch field to decide when to set up for different bootloaders, such as "ia64" implying elilo. It doesn't pay attention to the difference between x86 and x86_64 as it uses syslinux either way. If you want to fix it, you can run: cobbler distro edit --name=foo --arch=x86_64 --Michael > Cheers > > Dan > > ********************************************************************** > ** > > DISCLAIMER > > The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is > intended > > for the recipient only. > > If you have received it in error, please notify us immediately by > reply > > e-mail and then delete it from your system.
